What a wonderful spot! Authentic cuisine, attentive and friendly staff. I started with the stuffed peppers a tasty blend of slightly spicy and creamy cheese. I followed it with a ravioli al funghi, everything was really fresh and an obvious passion for food was injected. I got to speak with the owner which was such an authentic touch as well. Bravo

Consistently great food and service. Old world feel neighborhood atmosphere is a nice respite from the trendy restaurants that are all the rage. I’ve been here many times but only twice a year when in town. Often see people dining who I’ve seen in the past. Good sign that locals live the place.

The food at Capri by Gigi never disappoints! This was our first time eating at the Zitt e Zitt next door to the restaurant. The sea bass was outstanding as was the meatball appetizer! Everyone enjoyed their food. The vibe was fun and the DJ played great music. Best of all was our server. She was fantastic as were the bussers who made sure our water was full at all times. Highly recommend!
